perfect sweetness the serenity of solitude
"How many Of the troubles of life, " asks
Sir John Lubbock, 'are insignificant in
themselves and easily avoidable" 1t is
not so much, in most cases, great sorrows,
diseases or death, but rather the little
daily dyings which cloud over the sun
shine of life. We most of us give ourselves
an immense amount Of trouble, incumber
ourselves, as it were, on the journey of
life with a dead weight of unnecessary
baggage. In that most delightful fairy
tale, "Alicc in Wonderland" the White
Knight is described as having provided
himself on starting for a journey with a
variety of odds and ends, including a
mousetrap in case he was troubled by
mice at night, and beehive, in case he
came across a swarm Of bees.-Home
